## Notes

Nginx Proxy Manager is a web admin interface for Nginx reverse proxy hosts. The [setup guide](https://nginxproxymanager.com/setup/) runs it as a Docker image started with Docker Compose, and the running container serves the admin interface on its own port. The interface is based on Tabler, and users get permissions and an audit log. The application stores its data in SQLite or, when the environment variables name one, in MySQL, MariaDB or Postgres. It runs on Node.js.
